An Untameable Zebra

De: Louise Clover

Narrado por: Louise Clover

A desperate housewife’s hilarious and moving tale of chaos, hope and self-discovery.

A story of love, hate, revenge and ... goats.

Meet Clem Elliot. Part-time BBC clerk. Wife to Ryan. Mother to twins, Jack and Stan.

For nearly twenty years, life for Clem is cushty. Until suddenly, it’s not.

So what does she do? She runs away to the Greek islands to join a sailing circus, of course.

Here, she masters tricks with staple guns, goats and the very fanciable, but unscrupulous womaniser, Captain Red.

However, as wire-walking, fire-breathing and swabbing the deck become the norm, and her newfound skills wow audiences across the Ionian, a chance encounter with a wrathful rabble brings with it a ghost from her past.

Can the outlandish circus troupe ever be her real future? Or has the time come for Clem to get real and return to the mess she left behind?

She ran away and joined the circus!

Clementine literally ran away from her mid-life crisis life and joined the circus. Amongst the acts and craziness she realizes what is important in life. This book had laugh out loud funny scenes and toughing scenes as well. Clementine gets her HEA in a way you wouldn't expect but that was very satisfying. The author narrated the book and did an awesome job.

Not my ideal writing style or delivery...

I had such high hopes for this one, with that adorable cover and interesting premise. Unfortunately, the interest stops there. The writing was weak, rife with ‘telling’ over showing, making for a dull experience.

🦓 Mermaids.
🛟 Holiday.
🦓 Dry humor.

On this front, not good—the delivery is extremely robotic, making it extremely hard to pay attention. I had to constantly remind myself to listen to the awful droning on. 0 stars on this front.
